description: "Guy Louis Gabaldon was a Chicano in the United States Marine Corps who, at age 18, captured or persuaded to surrender over 1,300 Japanese soldiers and civilians during the battles for Saipan and Tinian islands in 1944 during World War II. Called \"Gabby\" by his friends, he became known as \"The Pied Piper of Saipan\" for his heroism on that island. Though Gabaldon was recommended for the Medal of Honor, he received the Silver Star, which was upgraded by the Marine Corps to the Navy Cross in 1960."
